  The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.-Eleanor Roosevelt

  My home is a place of great beauty and agricultural richness, as well as of war and natural disasters.When I was only fourteen years old, I was filled with   1   in spite of the terrible surroundings.The families living here ,who tried to make their living from the land,   2   great losses.

  I felt sorry especially for the   3  , but I   4   to be hopeless.I decided that where I was, I could do   5   to help them.I began knocking on every door and saying to each person who   6   my knock,“I know that you are   7   and give the birds that come to your yard a little   8  .Please consider me your bird.Give me only a handful of rice each week when I come to your   9  .I will take it to the temple where it can be given to the   10   children.”

  No one seemed to   11   giving me a handful of rice ,even   12   they had little themselves.On Sunday ,I would go to the   13   and give my handfuls of rice to the monks to   14   to the children.

  One day ,I came to a house that had   15   to give.I told my story and asked if I could be their bird.The woman called her daughters, and   16   gave me fifty cents, as well as the handful of rice!I began to ask for   17   and rice from the other“bird feeders”, and they gave them to me.Everyone was happy to be helping those who were suffering, even   18   only this small way.The temple was soon able to help everyone who came to them for food and clothing.

  “Consider me your bird.”My   19   idea had not stopped the war, but anyway, it was   20   some peace.

Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.  

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.    

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.

1.The best title for the passage would be______.

A. Touched by the moon        B. The pleasures of modern life

C. A bottomless well of silence   D. Break away from modern life

2. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?

A. No modern equipment       B. Complete silence.

C. The nice moonlight          D. The high mountains

3.Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.

A. show that the writer likes city life very much

B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life

C. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature

D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them

4.The author wrote the passage to_______.

A. express the feeling of returning to nature

B. show the love for the moonlight

C. advise modern people to learn to live[来源:Z&xx&k.Com]

D. want to communicate longing for modern life

Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique(古董)shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.

  The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth ---- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

  I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“Would you like to buy a chair?”He looked it over carefully and said,“Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said.“OK,”he said,“I’ll give you twenty pounds.”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said.“Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”

  Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited.“What will you do with it?”I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,”he said.“Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.”“Your must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped.“I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”“You’re right,”I said.“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me I wouldn't have agreed to do it,”he said.“We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing.

We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.

  A. was rather impolite              B. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair

  C. was warmly received           D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair

The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________.

  A. changed his mind        B. accepted the offer

  C. saw the writer’s purpose     D. decided to help the writer

How much did the writer pay?

  A. £ 5.    B. £ 7.     C. £ 20.    D. £ 27.

From the text, we can learn that the writer was ________

A. honest    B. careful    C. smart     D. funny
